- Case number
- DCEO6/2023
The court refused to strike out the impugned pleadings and witness statement passages because the claimant has pleaded a substantive disability discrimination claim under the DDO for which the District Court has exclusive jurisdiction, the respondent failed to show it was plain and obvious the discrimination and consequential PESO damages claims were bound to fail, and the contested witness material is relevant to pleaded issues and not plainly scandalous or irrelevant such that pretrial expunction is justified.
